So where does all of Artie’s superstar charisma come from? Maybe it was New York City where he performed night after night for nearly two years on Broadway’s musical “Footloose”. Or was it his experience as an actor in the Paramount Pictures movie “Blue Chips”? Possibly, it was his summer job early on in his career performing at Opryland theme park. You might even say performing in Japan, Canada, Mexico and forty-four states may give him the confidence it takes to become successful in this business.
